The most popular French fame books

Books about fame follow people who become known to everyone. The rise is thrilling, the attention is addictive, and then come the costs: privacy, friendships and a sense of self. Novels about rock stars and actors and candid celebrity memoirs both belong here. Only books in French are listed.
